In the studies of collective action, social solidarity is often used as an important explanatory variable. Various research paradigms have been used to explain the origins of solidarity in terms of common interest, organizational networks, and collective action. Here the author analyzes a militant union in a state-owned Taiwanese petrochemical firm and argues that the workers' class solidarity originated from a specific labor process in which they cultivated a culture of sharing and moral economy. Through their cultural transformation, the production organization for labor control became a local site for grassroots solidarity. The workers also adopted a strategy of cultural transplantation by introducing informal class culture into the workplace. In the end, their resistance helped to form a culture of solidarity that predisposes them to participate in collective action. |
